John's having trouble with lines of code in his documents:
>>However, some of the lines of code I'm getting are just too long and
they
>>wrap to the next line, which also throws out the indent alignment.
John, have you tried <gasp> some restricted font fondling? If your lines wrap
over only a small degree (one or two words), you might be able to use the
tool's capabilities to condense the text without compromising readability.
For example, in Frame you could set the spread in the Character Designer
to something like 3% or 5% to condense the text. In Word, you could use
the Character Spacing tab in the Font dialog box to get something close to
the same effect. If the wrap isn't much, this might be a good solution to
keep the text on one line.
